Carlos Aréchiga★★★★★

I visited La Principal for late lunch on a Sunday and everything was great, from the drinks to the appetizers to the meal itself. Our server was super friendly and made the visit a very enjoyable one. Will definitely be back. My favorite thing was their queso fundido and steak tacos. Check them out!

I've been here a few times, sitting both outside in the summer and inside. The decor on the inside is very calming and pretty. The food has always come quickly and is always delicious. I like that I can order multiple different tacos to try different flavors. Everything is plated and presented very nicely. I'll definitely be back again!

Luke★★★★★

An imaginative and wide selection of tacos. All delicious. Ordering a bunch a la cart is a great way to feed a crew with something a little elevated. Highly recommend. And after you finish, check out the cocktail bar next door!

I really wanted to like this place. Outdoor patio looked nice. Food was cold. Not room temp. Cold. And Terrible tasting. Chips were fine. Two kinds of salsa both tasted the same and had no flavor. Terrible. Waitress was fine. Drink fine. Food terrible. Not just bad. Terrible. Waitress took my food off bill so that was good.
